I built this in a "what if" theme of an unfinished aircraft left abandoned for quite a while. I used the pe interior/air brake set, HGW belts and Uschi woodgrain decals. This was the first ZM kit I have built but definitely won't be the last. Thanks for lookin! At a TOTAL loss for words. The weathering.....the detailing.....the painting.....good LORD man!!! Does it fly too??!!! This is just over the top bro. Seriously!! Blown.....away.......  |

Fantastic work Brent! That’s a great concept to have a decrepit aircraft past its’ prime. You’ve really nailed the look!

Thanks guys! It was a nice change of pace to build something to look like this and made me come up with different techniques to capture the look I was going for

This is a stupendous build...just amazing! I was fortunate to see remnants of an actual Horton 229 at the Paul Garber facility in Maryland.

Holy wow! I have this one in my stash just waiting till I feel my skills are at the right level. You sir, have knocked this one out of the park! Every little detail is just right and comes together so well. Amazing build and great presentation as well. Thanks for sharing with us!

You will really enjoy this kit when you decide to build it. The detail and fit are excellent. I plan on more Zoukei-Mura builds in the future. |

Brent this is seriously great work. You nailed the "left to rot in the field" look

I may have to retake a few with better clarity. These birds were impressively ahead of their time, a 229 on the bench would a welcome site indeed! |

Truly incredible work. This is a kit I have always wanted to build. It looks quite intimidating. Very well done. It looks like they just rolled it out of the barn it's been sitting in for 80 years.

Thank you! If you decide to take a HO-229 on I highly recommend this 1/32 ZM offering or the 1/48th scale. The fit is wonderful |
